Only advice is to be careful with all the curves, you could easily overstep 2000 polys

Ive start hipoly model___

I have a question about normal maps: What is a beter making all details on high poly model or paint them in photoshop (lines, small holes, etc...)

[KrAyZiE]

its really your preference, if you think you can do a good job with it, it would be easier in photoshop, but if you add them to your high poly model, it would be more exact to how you want it, but its really just preference

I would generally leave things like dents and scrapes to do in photoshop and just bake the rest, but like the last guy said its down to preference.

You have got your high poly already so bake a normal map and see which details come out well and what doesnt. Then go back to the high poly and remove the details that didnt work well and just do them in Photoshop

[trident]

I will paint details on normal map in photo shop, below little progres in my wanpon... C&C welcome

"snipe view"

keep in mind that I havernt played UT for years, but I think the sniper rifle would work a lot better if there was a larger end to the scope. Just now it looks like the player has a 1cm eyepiece to look into to aim the thing.
